If you're on the hunt for simple ways to make your at-home workouts more effective, look no further than a pair of ankle weights. From Pilates to strength training, there is almost no type of exercise they won't help with - and they're surprisingly affordable too.
You may have tried ankle weights for walking, but their uses don't stop there. "Ankle weights are a fantastic tool for increasing the intensity of your Pilates workouts," explains Sam Deville, Pilates instructor and founder of dynamic online platform Sam Deville Pilates. "By adding subtle but effective resistance, they make your muscles work harder, helping to build strength, stability, and endurance. They’re particularly beneficial when you’ve mastered your form and are ready to level up."
